In my experience Stanza has been the best alternative to save space in my PC HD and be able to read from any external storage device, not to mention the possibility of reading and converting a good variety of ebook formats.

With Calibre, everytime you want to open a book stored in an external HD, it will automatically import the book from the external device to your PC HD so as to display it on its shelf and enable the reading. If you like me, want to save precious space in your PC Hard Drive and for this reason keep all your ebooks in an external storage device, then Calibre is not a good option. This makes your eBook library looks more informative.Ĭalibre supports search and download e-books from online store or websites, it supports search from almost all the popular e-books store.Ĭalibre supports download entire websites and converts them to any eBook format, meaning you can read your favorite news articles or blogs on practically any eBook reader, from the Kindle to the Nook to the Kobo and everything in between.Not a good option for those who need to save space in their HD. Calibre can download all the metadata for an e-book, including title, author, publisher, ISBN, tags, cover or summary, you can also edit these metadata. Calibre has become a comprehensive tool for the management of digital texts, allowing you to do whatever you could possibly imagine with your e-book library.Ĭalibre has some great features. It is used in over 200 countries and has been translated into a dozen different languages by volunteers. It's an open-source project, it was started on 31 October 2006, developers are still developing more functions to make it more powerful. Calibre is a powerful and easy to use e-book manager.
